ABSOLUT MACHINE

I was walking down the street the other day and saw some 'Absolut' branding on a previously derelict storefront. I like vodka so I went inside and found this, without much explanation:

No vodka in sight, but the magical mystery self-playing instrument was kind of fascinating.

COKEOKEEDOKE

Is this even real?! What?

BANTUMS

Whilst I was at secondary school my Dad was friends with my geography teacher who owned some Bantums.

This meant we'd always have real dope yolkey eggs, au natural. Unfortunately moving to London really means you're fresh farm produce is limited. I've recently been buying these eggs though which are dope, and come in almost enough colours so you can coordinate with your trainers! Plus, the stamp is fresh!

 

HOLD TIGHT

We went to the Montana Gold office the other day and got a nice big bag. Hold tight.

BORED

The link between streetwear and skate culture has always been there, through stussy's beginnings as a surf company, to supreme's continual support of the local scene without the need for a real team, to 10 Deeps arrival on the scene.

Looks like Rogue Status and well and truly on the bandwagon with this collaboration with Alien Workshop (Wherever they went for the last however many light years!?) and Rob Dyrdek.

But it doesn't stop there, they're also dipping their plump little fingers in lots of other pies such as this collaboration with Arbor snowboards. (Thanks to ourpoopscoop.com for the heads up.)

Here's a few more ones which caught my eye whilst at 5050 skateboard supplies in Bristol.

DAM RECENT

I only discovered this podcast recently, it's a little Gem. Mad Decent- Diplo, with everything from French/African mixes to niche "Bassline" (It's actually just old 90's Garage with a more public friendly name, which means it's cool for white suburban kids and yuppies to dance to it in a club now Remember, you're not selling the steak, you're selling the sizzle!)

Search for mad decent podcasts on i-tunes, or just copy and paste the address below into your navigation bar for the niche mix.

WALKABOUT

AIR FORCE 1 "DYING TO LIVE"

A little job I promised someone when intoxicated. I broke both rules I'd set myself of not working for free, and not customising worn trainers! Oh well, for the love.

As for the headlines I'm not really sure, maybe I was pumpin' too much Biggie Smalls!!!

I just googled it. Apparently it's a Tupac lyric. Definately couldn't explain that one! Straight Biggie!

MACK DADDY'S

A little comission for Mack daddy's hairdressers on Park Row in Bristol. Hit them up for all your barnet and dodgy fringe needs!

The guy in the photo's Julian, when I was younger he used to sort out haircuts for a little bag. Nice one Ju!
